Both the G2400WD and V2400W have a headphone jack for audio transmitted through hdmi. So if you use hdmi with your gaming console then you can plug your headphones right into the monitor, or use an audio cable to plug the headphone jack of the monitor to an auxiliary jack in a speaker. By the...

You'll get the cost of the monitor back, but not the cost of shipping (both the cost to ship it to you and the cost the ship it back). That is easily $60+ that you'll lose. I have a G2400WD and love it. I think you're right on the money that the G2400WD and V2400W are the same panel with the...

Take a look at the back of your 360 with the stock audio/video cable plugged in. The end of the audio/video cable that comes with the 360 is bulky, covering part of the hdmi port. This unfortunately means that you can't use the stock cable for audio and then plug in an hdmi cable. I ended up...

Yes you're right, the Gateway FHD2400 is glossy. And I hated the glossiness for the most part (watching yourself playing a dark game is not fun), but it did make bright games and movies very vibrant and amazing to watch.

I don't have any experience with the Samsung, LG, or G2400W, but I do have a G2400WD. Although the colors on the G2400WD are accurate, I wouldn't call them vibrant. The picture doesn't pop out at you like it does on some other monitors (for example, the Gateway FHD2400). I absolutely love my...

I have a G2400WD and use it to play high end pc games at 1920x1200, xbox 360 at 1080p, and standard def movies. I will agree with you that there isn't a wow factor when viewing this monitor. I had tried out a Gateway FHD2400 before buying the G2400WD and that screen definitely had the wow...

No, it doesn't matter. I used the coupon to buy a G2400WD and had never shopped from benq.com before.

Yes, bars at the side. I believe standard tv input is 640x480, so I stretch tv media in a media player to fill the screen vertically while maintaining 4:3, which leaves bars on the left and right sides. Although stretching a 16:9 source to 16:10 usually doesn't look too bad, stretching a 4:3 to...

I use a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 (link). I'm out of state right now at an internship so I couldn't bring my TV. The Hauppauge was a perfect solution for me since I didn't want to add any more hardware inside my pc case, and I didn't want to waste my pc's processing power on video transcoding...

1) Yes, the image was stretching. The G2400WD is a 1920x1200 screen, and the max resolution an xbox360 can display is 1080p (1920x1080). In other words, 1080p in 1:1 aspect on the G2400WD will have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen because the 1080p fills the screen horizontally but...

I can't confirm it because I don't have a T241W, but I've heard that it does have 1:1 aspect option. The G2400WD does offer a faster response time when in overdrive (2ms), but I run my G2400WD at the default 5ms without any problems. The G2400WD does offer vga, dvi, and hdmi, while the T241W...

I have a G2400WD. It still has the black bar flickering problem. On mine it is just barely visible along the top, and the bottom flickering is more visible but still doesn't bother me at all. I think people still like to get the W because there is such a huge thread for it with...

I think you could physically attach the stand to the back of the monitor upside down, but the base of the stand does not look screw-friendly. You might be able to do what you want with a wall mountable stand and screwing the wall-mount part into the ceiling of the top of your desk. Or depending...

I returned two March 2008 models due to heavy blb that beg to differ. Glad your monitor came out well, at least it shows that not every fhd2400 has blb problems.

I bought this one for my G2400WD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824994001 I bought it from buy.com though cause it was a little cheaper. This stand provides tilt, height, and pivot adjustments. But since it is only rated for a 22" screen, you won't be able to pivot...
